An interesting debate over at Finelittleday about intrusive faces - posting self portraits on your blog. I always think twice before posting images of me but I'm really intrigued when bloggers whose work/blogs I admire post images of themselves. I try to post important and significant {to me} things as this is my record and resource... but often I omit me.......so this is a portrait I nearly posted at the time (last November) but didn't for various reasons including superstition. I often draw on the bathroom mirror, it's such an inviting surface, and this was a face sketched in makeup that we messed around with, trying to line it up with my bump of 6 months.

Welcome to my blog. I am a UK artist based in the South West. I make heads and faces using ceramic materials from my studio on a windy hill between Bristol and Bath. I use drawing and photography too. This is about my work, finished pieces and workings out, my environment, my collections and fascinations...in fact everything that goes into my head that has some sort of creative impact/outcome.
